"Heat of the Moment"

Disclaimer: i don’t own inuyasha. even though i wish i did...

"lady Kaede is Inuyasha mad at me?" kagome asked feeling down because it seemed he had been staying away from and ignoring her lately

"nay child do ye not know the way of His kind or has he not told ye yet?" the old and wise kaede questioned turning the roast over the fire. while shippo laid close to her side gently snoring untill shed awake him for dinner.

"told me what? kaede and know i dont know much about him at all if i think about it..."she said feeling sadder each moment. her hair cascading into a curtain around her face.

"child do not feel sadened by this turn of events he will be himself again in a weeks time. as for the reason i leave it up to ye to ask him for ye self." kaede said folding her arms to meditate. kagome went over what she said and tryed to find the reason. she couldnt find it and was left wondering so instead she just helped finish the meal and gently shook shippo awake. she wondered when sango and miroku would come back. she felt so lone everyone was gone lately. sango left with miroku to the east to follow a small shard rumor. while they stayed to help kaede fight the recent storms of demons attacking the village. as if on cue inuyasha her silver headed hero came glaring through the door. she put her head down to avoid his strong glare. they ate in silence with small conversations from shippo. after they ate inuyasha left silently back outside. she helped shippo back itno bed and dozed off herself.

later that night...

He hated this Damn curse...he hated his kind for that matter. he was half demon and being of the dog species he was extremly heated durring this time. male as well as female demons went into heat durring this time of year it was bad enough when kagome went into hers every month but he had to deal with himself and the rest of the male demons in the area. male demons go into heat and the need to mate or find a mate grows strong and they search out for the strongest female in the land. some make do with what they can find to supresss it but others...well they were currently protecting kaedes village from them. because their dear kagome was the most powerfull female around. he needed to keep focused on fighting or else he might just become one of the hunters after her. he was fighting a losing battle within himself. he peered through the darkness down upon the hut that held the unaware priestess. he should tell her. but he couldnt she was to inocent to know the truth and horrors that realy go through his head. no he couldnt and wouldnt reveal to her the truth. he couldnt tell her he had dreams of him reverting to his baser instincts and rape her. besides in a week it would all be over and he could be around her again. he heard a rustle and growled lowly a small warning to any intruder. he leapt down from his perch and stalked torward the sound. he anticipated the fight to some. claws elongating and fangs bared. and then...a rabbit. he chuckled to himself and chased it off. tuirning to head back to his perch.

"brother do not assume the danger has passed..." came a stone cold voice that was different in a way. his ears pinned to his head as he faced his worst nightmare and prayed for kagome he wasnt here for her. he glared at the tall figure moving torwards the village. he drew his sword in preparation. "do you even think you could defeat me little brother...?"his voice held a small hint of impatience in it. "this Sesshoumaru has come only to retrieve the girl. their is no reason to fight. half breed stand aside." his voice got colder. inuyasha didnt know what to do his blood rushed through him. he couldnt defeat his brother no less keep a heat enraged sesshoumaru from getting what he wanted. so he did the only thing he could think of. he ran. he was in and out of the hut in a flash with kagome in his arms screaming like mad. he didnt have to look to know sesshoumaru was right on his heals. kagome must have sceen him cause she looked at him with fear. and then the pain came. he clutched her tightly against him as he slid across the hard forest floor slamming into a tree trunk. he grimced and glanced down. sure engough he had another gaping hole through his shoulder. now he had recieved many but his brothers were always the worst. his brother was known for his poison. sure enough he could see the green acid.
